Subject: Participation in System Administrator Survey

Stamatis' survey request has appeared in a number of lists, some with more
restrictive participation then this unmoderated forum.  I've seen a number
of such and participated in many over the years.  It's a fairly standard
avenue for students to join and read lists in areas of their choice of
study, as well as on occasion actually articipating or requesting help in
gathering information for their studies.  We could well see more of these
kind of requests over time.  some will respond to the requestor <hopefully
not to the full list!> and help them out, some will hit the delete key and
move on.  Hopefully few will be putoff enough that the list floods for a
few days of 'complaints and counter complaints and claims of spamming',
that we can tolerate anothers quest for knowledge and learning <smile>.

Thanks,

Ron DuFresne

OK, so you're a Ph.D.  Just don't touch anything.
